Health Statistics

Overview

Looking for health and healthcare statistics at the local, state and national level? This collection of web links will help you find the health data you're looking for. Great for researchers, grant writers, students and the curious.

Fort Collins and Larimer County

A report on the well-being and quality of life in Larimer County, with links that include statistics on growth, housing, transportation, physical and mental health, crime and safety, economy and education. For archives of the previous Compass data, go to http://www.co.larimer.co.us/compass/.

Every three years, the Health District conducts a Community Health Assessment to measure northern Larimer County's health by asking questions about health risk factors, mental health, health insurance, preventive screening tests, healthcare access and other issues.

Colorado

The CCMU has a variety of resources, including working papers and data on the insurance status of Coloradans by age, income, work status and race/ethnicity; sources of insurance coverage; employer-based contributions and costs; personal and state healthcare expenditures; access to care; individual health status indicators; and health workforce and hospital statistics.

National

This collection of 50 reports — one per state — helps community leaders see that where we live, learn, work and play influences how healthy we are and how long we live. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is collaborating with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute to develop these rankings for each state’s counties.
